Kejriwal questions PM's 'silence' on Dadri episode

New Delhi: Against the backdrop of BJP MLA Sangeet Som's visit and controversial speech in Dadri, Delhi Chief Minster Arvind Kejriwal alleged 'collusion' between ruling Samajwadi Party in UP and the BJP, and questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'silence' over it.

"Collusion between parties in the state and Centre? What is happening is quite dangerous. PM's silence almost a tacit approval," Kejriwal tweeted referring to controversial BJP MLA Sangeet Som's visit to Dadri where he attacked Samajwadi Party (SP) government.

Som, accused of making inflammatory speeches during the 2013 Muzaffarnagar communal riots, alleged that the state government was acting in a biased manner like it did during violence in western Uttar Pradesh two years ago and was shielding those who had 'slaughtered cow'.

Kejriwal also praised the son of the murdered Iqlakh, who is an officer in the Indian Air Force. "Salute to Sartaj. Common man is the biggest hope today. Hate, hatred can be ended only through love, not further hatred," Kejriwal tweeted.
